Question about Pets

[r8ermang]

Hello everyone.

This is a dumb question, one that I should have the answer to. I am asking anyway. HAHAHAHA

Can(or do) our pets go to heaven? Any scriptures that support eaither case? I cant remember any off the top of my head. I am a relatively new Christian, and havent been studying that long.

I know Jesus comes back on a white horse, so I figured there might be some animals in Heaven. Maybe the white horse is a symbol. I just dont know.

But I know you guys/gals know. This board is awesome, great biblical mentors here.

Thanks in advance

Scripture does not say exclusively if there are pets in heaven,but the Bible does provide us with clues.First, the Bible says the Garden of Eden was populated with animals,thus there is a precedent for believing that Eden resstored will also be populated by animal.The scriptures,from first to last suggest animals have souls.Both Moses in Genesis and John in Revelation communicate that the creator endowed animals with souls.)Gen.1:20,24 and Rev. 8:9 Throughout the history of the church,there has been and understanding of living things,has included the doctrine that animals as well as humans have souls.Scripture suggests animals will continue to exist after the return our Lord. Isiaiah 11:6-9
